the right course for america is not raise taxes on americans. i understand that president obama and people of his political persuasion will like to take more money from the american people, and they want to do that to continue to grow government. and the answer for america is cannot grow government, it is to shrink government. we have been going over the last 40 years, government grows faster than the economy relative to inflation. that is why i have a plan that reduces government spending. i cut programs, all series of programs, and the number one cut is obamacare, that size is $95 billion a year. return the state's whole series of programs, and said how much goes to them, and with regard to entitlement, i do not want to change medicare and social security for current retirees. but for younger people coming up, they have to recognize that in the future, higher-income people will receive less people. >> you seem to be uncomfortable with the moment from our earlier in this debate cycle and everybody said they would reject even a 10-1 ratio of cut

on the right were all the conservative people who had anti-health care and anti-obama signs. they were yelling at each other across the street. it was a great symbol. but for us to drive through the street with a jeep that's as fox 31, it was great. they were banging on our window and you feel like you will get beat up here and you get cheered from folks on the other side. it is an awkward thing for a journalist or anyone who covers this, to do so in an objective, non-person, non-biased way. -- not as partisan, non-biased way. -- non-partisan, non-biased way. i get e-mails from people who say if it is typical fox news b.s. when they see our coverage and they think that we are "fair and balanced," meaning that we are skewed to the left. you try not to do that. you tried to cover both sides of the story. and sometimes it depends on the story. if we're telling the romney story, what he said and taking it out of context, we tried to at least say, look, we're not the ones taking this out of context. the obama people will take this out of context and that is why this is problematic

i think that what we are dealing with right at this moment is a signal from senator mccain that they are not going to cooperate with the second administration of barack obama, that they are going to stall out all of his nominations. this is their warning shot that they are going to filibuster her appointment and perhaps anybody else's. i think that's what it is. and here is the intelligence committee member. >> again, i'm really confused. the only point in contention really is whether or not this attack emerged from a protest and as soon as the information became clearer and it did take some time for that to happen, then that was perfectly clarified. there is absolutely -- it's inconceivable to me for anybody to speculate there would be a deliberate misleading of the american people. why would there be? it's perfectly inconsequential al. there was a spontaneous demonstration and the terrorist groups organize niced to take tunistic advantage of it or not. in any case, there is no advantage to mislead the american people in that regard. i mean you have to have motivation behind it and

in other words, barack obama would be a footnote in history if john mccain had made the right choices. here comes amid romney. -- mitt romney. he goes to paul ryan who is popular with the tea party. he picked him. i think a lot of people say that paul ryan is not really capable. i've got a loaded question for you -- does america really respect a black individual to be their leader? guest: it is good to end on a loaded question. let me say first that john mccain, who was a great senator, and who was the original maverick and had an independent image, i think he had a very difficult time running into thousand eight following eight years of george w. bush. it was likely time for a democratic president to win so i think john mccain had a hard assignment. with respect to the question you asked, i would say that america elected an african-american, barack obama, and after one of the most intense and expensive and bitter campaigns of all time, reelected him. i would say that is a pretty strong statement of respect for him. some people have said to mate there will be a racial vote in this ele

a nation in decline, or we can elect real leaders like mitt romney and get this country back on the right track. [cheers and applause] the problem we have been having in washington is that twoo many politicians like president obama -- [boos] too many politicians have been more worried about their next election than they have been worrying about the next generation. that is not leadership. that's politics. we will not do that. we will lead. we want to earn your support. we want to deserve this victory. so that when we do this, we have the mandate to fix this country's problems, to reacquaint ourselves with the american ideal and get people back to work. [cheers] let's be very clear and fair. the president inherited a difficult situation. the problem is he made things worse. that is why the president has run out of ideas. and so his campaign has been relegated to waging a campaign based on frustration and anger, dividing people, to try to win an election by default. it is such an amazing moment in history. the man at the moment meet so well like mitt romney does at this moment in history.
